Who knows more of gods than I? Horse gods and fire gods, gods made of gold with gemstone eyes, gods carved of cedar wood, gods chiseled into mountains, gods of empty air... I know them all.

As I commented in The One Thread, this is very much good for spreading information about the game to more people. A lot of comments on that article suggest that this is the first time some people have even heard of GW2.

And as I said in the GW2 "how all the hype" thread.... the reason why GW2 has become so popular is word of mouth. Anet just let the internet masses run with the game, effectively free PR.

"Do not only practice your art, but force yourself into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine." -- Ludwig Van Beethoven

The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.

in every post you make you make "subtle" reference to the fact that you don't like GW2, just fuck off, go enjoy panda land.

I bought the Collectors Edition of GW2 and like it. I don't post here much because if you mention wow here (which I would do) you get your head bitten off.

The poll was based off hype like any other poll IGN puts up. My posts are not "subtle" references they are just my opinion and I stand by them. If any other game won then I would of said the same thing.

Just because I have a wow avatar and sig does not make me a "GW2 hater" of any sort. Before you make assumptions based on little post count don't comment and make a final decision of the person.

If you want some "pat on the back" good job the game won.

Also before you make fun of "panda land" do some research on it before blindly making fun of it.

what else is new Guild Wars 2 has been grabbing AWARDS FOR BEST GAME/PEOPLE'S CHOICE for the past 3 years

and it ain't even out yet!

that always made me smile, truth be told

I'm honestly not sure why awards are given out like this. Though I guess it's just all for the hype train and what not. I would much rather game awards be given out to games that are..out. Now if the award was for most anticipated game of the year, then I could def see GW2 winning.

WoW actually is typically the first to make fun of WoW. If that makes sense. Even the MoP trailer recently shown is full of random light humor. Nice to see Blizz going back to their roots instead of being so serious all the time - WC3 was on the lighter side of fantasy, after all.

I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.
